Receiver Selection and Installation PNP
The recommended receiver for this aircraft is the Spektrum AR631.
If you choose to install a different receiver, it needs to be a 4-channel or
more full range (sport) receiver. Refer to the manual of your chosen receiver
for correct installation and operation instructions.
AR631 Installation
- Lift the rear of the canopy to remove the canopy from the top of the fuselage.
- Attach the appropriate control surfaces to their respective ports on the receiver using the table at the right.
- Using double-sided servo tape, mount the receiver to the flat area behind the ESC, as shown. The receiver should be mounted in the orientation shown, parallel to the length of the fuselage, with the label facing up and the servo ports facing the rear of the aircraft. The orientation of the receiver is critical for all AS3X® and SAFE® technology setups.
CAUTION: Incorrect installation of the receiver could cause a crash.
ANTENNA INSTALLATION
The AR631 receiver has a coaxial style antenna. We recommend installing the antenna as far as possible from metal, batteries, or carbon fiber to maximize signal reception performance.
NOTICE: Do not cut, kink, or modify the antenna. Damage to the coaxial portion of an antenna will reduce the performance of the antenna. Shortening or cutting off the 31mm tip will reduce the range.
Flight Battery Installation and Electronic Speed Control (ESC) Arming
-
Rest the aircraft on its landing gear on a flat surface.
-
Lower the throttle and turn on the throttle hold switch, then power on the transmitter for at least 5 seconds.
-
Press the latch button (A) and remove the canopy.
-
Secure the flight battery (B) in the battery compartment using the hook and loop straps (C) so that the aircraft has a balanced Center of Gravity (CG).
-
Connect the flight battery to the ESC.
IMPORTANT: Before flying, refer to the “Verifying Your Aircraft’s Center of Gravity (CG)” section for details about final battery placement. -
Replace the canopy
General Binding Tips and Failsafe BNF
- The included receiver has been specifically programmed for operation of this aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for correct setup if the receiver is replaced.
- Keep away from large metal objects while binding.
- Do not point the transmitter’s antenna directly at the receiver while binding.
- The orange LED on the receiver will flash rapidly when the receiver enters bind mode.
- Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind settings for that transmitter until you re-bind.
- If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate. Failsafe moves the throttle channel to low throttle. Pitch and roll channels move to actively stabilize the aircraft in a descending turn.
- If problems occur, refer to the troubleshooting guide or if needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding / Enabling and Disabling SAFE Select BNF
The BNF Basic version of this airplane includes SAFE Select technology,
enabling you to choose the level of flight protection. SAFE mode includes
angle limits and automatic self leveling. AS3X mode provides the pilot with a
direct response to the control sticks. SAFE Select is enabled or disabled
during the bind process. With SAFE Select disabled the aircraft is always in
AS3X mode. With SAFE Select enabled the aircraft will be in SAFE Select mode
all the time, or you can assign a switch to toggle between SAFE Select and
AS3X modes.
Thanks to SAFE Select technology, this aircraft can be configured for full-
time SAFE mode, full-time AS3X mode, or mode selection can be assigned to a
switch.
IMPORTANT: Before binding, read the transmitter setup section in this
manual and complete the transmitter setup table to ensure your transmitter is
properly programmed for this aircraft.
IMPORTANT: Move the transmitter flight controls (rudder, elevators, and
ailerons) and the throttle trim to neutral. Move the throttle to low before
and during binding. This process defines the failsafe settings.
You can use either the bind button on the receiver case or the conventional
bind plug to complete the binding and SAFE Select process.
SAFE Select can also be activated via Forward Programming in compatible
transmitters.
Using The Bind Button…
To Enable SAFE Select
SAFE SELECT ENABLED: The control surfaces cycle back and forth twice with a slight pause at neutral every time the receiver is powered on.
To Disable SAFE Select
SAFE SELECT DISABLED: The control surfaces cycle back and forth once every time the receiver is powered on.
To Enable SAFE Select
SAFE SELECT ENABLED: The control surfaces cycle back and forth twice with a slight pause at neutral every time the receiver is powered on.
To Disable SAFE Select
SAFE SELECT DISABLED: The control surfaces cycle back and forth once every time the receiver is powered on.
SAFE® Select Switch Designation BNF
Once SAFE Select is enabled, you can choose to fly in SAFE mode full-time, or
assign a switch. Any switch on any channel between 5 and 9 can be used on your
transmitter.
If the aircraft is bound with SAFE Select disabled, the aircraft will be in
AS3X mode exclusively.
CAUTION: Keep all body parts well clear of the propeller and keep the aircraft securely restrained in case of accidental throttle activation.
IMPORTANT: To be able to assign a switch, first verify:
- The aircraft was bound with SAFE Select enabled.
- Your choice for the SAFE Select switch is assigned to a channel between 5 and 9 (Gear, Aux1-4), and travel is set at 100% in each direction.
- The aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle direction are set to normal, not reverse.
- The aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle are set to 100% travel. If dual rates are in use, the switches need to be in the 100% position. See your transmitter manual for more information about assigning a switch to a channel.
Assigning a Switch
- Power on the transmitter.
- Power on the aircraft.
- Hold both transmitter sticks to the inside bottom corners, and toggle the desired switch 5 times quickly (1 toggle = full up and down).
- The control surfaces of the aircraft will move, indicating the switch has been selected.
Repeat the process to assign a different switch or to deactivate the current
switch.
TIP: Use the channel monitor to verify channel movement.
This example of the channel monitor shows the stick positions for assigning a switch, the switch selection on Aux2, and +/- 100% travel on the switch.
Forward Programming

Control Direction Test
WARNING: Do not perform this or any other equipment test with the propeller installed on the aircraft. Serious injury or property damage could result from the motor starting inadvertently.
- Set the flight mode switch to AS3X.
- Keep the throttle at zero and place the model on level ground away from obstacles.
- Move the sticks on the transmitter as described in the table to ensure the aircraft control surfaces respond as shown.
If the control surfaces do not respond as shown, DO NOT FLY. Refer to the
Troubleshooting Guide for more information. If you need more assistance,
contact the appropriate Horizon Hobby Product Support department.
If the aircraft responds as shown, continue on to the Flight Control section.
Choose a Flying Field
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your
aircraft.
In order to have the most success and to protect your property and aircraft,
it is very important to select a place to fly that is very open. Remember,
your aircraft can reach significant speeds when flying and can
cover ground quickly. Plan on flying in an area that gives you more space than
you think you need, especially with first flights.
The flying site should:
- Have a minimum of approximately 1300 feet (400m) of clear space in all directions.
- Be clear of people and pets.
- Be free of trees, buildings, cars, power lines or anything that could entangle your aircraft or interfere with your line of sight.
AS3X Control Response Test BNF
This test ensures that the AS3X control system is functioning properly. Assemble the aircraft and bind your transmitter to the receiver before performing this test.
-
Raise the throttle to any setting above 25%, then lower the throttle to activate AS3X technology.
CAUTION: Keep all body parts, hair and loose clothing away from the intake ducts as these items could become entangled. -
Move the entire aircraft as shown and ensure the control surfaces move in the direction indicated in the graphic. If the control surfaces do not respond as shown, do not fly the aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for more information or visit www.SpektrumRC.com.
Once the AS3X system is active, control surfaces may move rapidly. This is normal. AS3X remains active until the battery is disconnected.
In Flight Trimming BNF
During your first flight, trim the aircraft for your flying style in AS3X
flight mode.
Flight trim is usually performed between 70–100% power setting, per your
preference. Make small trim adjustments with your transmitter’s trim switches
to straighten the aircraft’s flight path.
After adjusting the trim, do not touch the control sticks for 3 seconds. This
allows the receiver to learn the correct settings to optimize AS3X
performance.
Failure to do so could affect flight performance.

A model aircraft is a non-human-carrying device capable of sustained flight
within visual line of sight of the pilot or spotter(s). It may not exceed
limitations of this code and is intended exclusively for sport, recreation,
education and/or competition. All model flights must be conducted in
accordance with this safety code and related AMA guidelines, any additional
rules specific to the flying site, as well as all applicable laws and
regulations.
As an AMA member I agree:
- I will not fly a model aircraft in a careless or reckless manner.
- I will not interfere with and will yield the right of way to all human carrying aircraftusing AMA’s See and Avoid Guidance and a spotter when appropriate.
- I will not operate any model aircraft while I am under the influence of alcohol or any drug that could adversely affect my ability to safely control the model.
- I will avoid flying directly over unprotected people, moving vehicles, and occupied structures.
- I will fly Free Flight (FF) and Control Line (CL) models in compliance with AMA’s safety programming.
- I will maintain visual contact of an RC model aircraft without enhancement other than corrective lenses prescribed to me. When using an advanced flight system, such as an autopilot, or flying First-Person View (FPV), I will comply with AMA’s Advanced Flight System programming.
- I will only fly models weighing more than 55 pounds, including fuel, if certified through AMA’s Large Model Airplane Program.
- I will only fly a turbine-powered model aircraft in compliance with AMA’s Gas Turbine Program.
- I will not fly a powered model outdoors closer than 25 feet to any individual, except for myself or my helper(s) located at the flightline, unless I am taking off and landing, or as otherwise provided in AMA’s Competition Regulation.
- I will use an established safety line to separate all model aircraft operations from spectators and bystanders.
